Price tags matter in Fantasy Premier League — but not in the way most managers think.

In this episode of the Triple Captains Podcast, we introduce a simple FPL value model and run a “value draft” to classify players into three buckets: overpriced, underpriced, and exactly right.

The goal isn’t just identifying bargains — it’s understanding how role, minutes and routes to points create real value in FPL.

We also review Gameweek 29 performances from the hosts, analyse key fixtures ahead of GW30, and debate the leading captaincy candidates including Bruno Fernandes, Mohamed Salah, Erling Haaland, João Pedro, Thiago and Bukayo Saka.

If you’ve ever wondered whether price actually reflects value in Fantasy Premier League — this episode breaks it down.
